Here in BC, no doors are a big no no.
I have a plan to run a second set of half doors. I'm gonna make flairs to match on them.

This is one of the coolest build threads I've seen... It's not super extreme or anything, but you've made everything yourself, which is awesome.
Even better is that you made it yourself AND it looks good.

Also, holy crud you drink a lot of PBR.

So what are you going to do with the cans?
Take 'em some recycling place in return for cash?

My cousin built a forge out of hairdryers and a small grill and melted down the cans, and poured the aluminum into whatever he wanted.
If a person had the machinery to work on the aluminum once it's cooled, you could make some pretty neat things that way.

That sounds sweet.
I wish I had enough room for a mini foundry.
I take my cans back for cash and pull all the tabs for the children's hospital.

Full of old over grown back roads.
